Draft Impervious Cover Assessment for Monroe Township, Middlesex Draft Impervious Cover Assessment for Monroe Township, Middlesex County, New Jersey Prepared for Monroe Township by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program February 2, 2015 Introduction Pervious and impervious are terms that are used to describe the ability or inability of water to flow through a surface. When rainfall hits a surface, it can soak into the surface or flow off the surface. Pervious surfaces are those which allow stormwater to readily soak into the soil and recharge groundwater. When rainfall drains from a surface, it is called "stormwater" runoff (Figure 1). An impervious surface can be any material that has been placed over soil that prevents water from soaking into the ground. Impervious surfaces include paved roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, and rooftops. As impervious areas increase, so does the volume of stormwater runoff. Figure 1: Stormwater draining from a parking lot New Jersey has many problems due to stormwater runoff, including: Pollution: According to the 2010 New Jersey Water Quality Assessment Report, 90% of the assessed waters in New Jersey are impaired, with urban-related stormwater runoff listed as the most probable source of impairment (USEPA, 2013). As stormwater flows over the ground, it picks up pollutants including animal waste, excess fertilizers, pesticides, and other toxic substances. These pollutants are then able to enter waterways. Flooding: Over the past decade, the state has seen an increase in flooding. Communities around the state have been affected by these floods. The amount of damage caused also has increased greatly with this trend, costing billions of dollars over this time span. 1 Erosion: Increased stormwater runoff causes an increase in the velocity of flows in our waterways. The increased velocity after storm events erodes stream banks and shorelines, degrading water quality. This erosion can damage local roads and bridges and cause harm to wildlife. The primary cause of the pollution, flooding, and erosion problems is the quantity of impervious surfaces draining directly to local waterways. New Jersey is one of the most developed states in the country. Currently, the state has the highest percent of impervious cover in the country at 12.1% of its total area (Nowak & Greenfield, 2012). Many of these impervious surfaces are directly connected to local waterways (i.e., every drop of rain that lands on these impervious surfaces ends up in a local river, lake, or bay without any chance of being treated or soaking into the ground). To repair our waterways, reduce flooding, and stop erosion, stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces has to be better managed. Surfaces need to be disconnected with green infrastructure to prevent stormwater runoff from flowing directly into New Jersey's waterways. Disconnection redirects runoff from paving and rooftops to pervious areas in the landscape. Green infrastructure is an approach to stormwater management that is cost-effective, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. Green infrastructure projects capture, filter, absorb, and reuse stormwater to maintain or mimic natural systems and to treat runoff as a resource. As a general principal, green infrastructure practices use soil and vegetation to recycle stormwater runoff through infiltration and evapotranspiration. When used as components of a stormwater management system, green infrastructure practices such as bioretention, green roofs, porous pavement, rain gardens, and vegetated swales can produce a variety of environmental benefits. In addition to effectively retaining and infiltrating rainfall, these technologies can simultaneously help filter air pollutants, reduce energy demands, mitigate urban heat islands, and sequester carbon while also providing communities with aesthetic and natural resource benefits (USEPA, 2013). The first step to reducing the impacts from impervious surfaces is to conduct an impervious cover assessment. This assessment can be completed on different scales: individual lot, municipality, or watershed. Impervious surfaces need to be identified for stormwater management. Once impervious surfaces have been identified, there are three steps to better manage these surfaces. 2 1. Eliminate surfaces that are not necessary. For example, a paved courtyard at a public school could be converted to a grassed area. 2. Reduce or convert impervious surfaces. There may be surfaces that are required to be hardened, such as roadways or parking lots, but could be made smaller and still be functional. A parking lot that has two-way car ways could be converted to one-way car ways. There also are permeable paving materials such as porous asphalt, pervious concrete, or permeable paving stones that could be substituted for impermeable paving materials (Figure 2). 3. Disconnect impervious surfaces from flowing directly to local waterways. There are many ways to capture, treat, and infiltrate stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces. Opportunities may exist to reuse this captured water. Figure 2: Rapid infiltration of water through porous pavement is demonstrated at the USEPA Edison New Jersey test site 3 Monroe Township Impervious Cover Analysis Located in Middlesex County in central New Jersey, Monroe Township covers approximately 42.2 square miles. Figures 3 and 4 illustrate that Monroe Township is dominated by urban land uses. A total of 39.0% of the municipality’s land use is classified as urban. Of the urban land in Monroe Township, low density residential is the dominant land use followed by medium density and rural residential (Figure 5). The literature suggests a link between impervious cover and stream ecosystem impairment starting at approximately 10% impervious surface cover (Schueler, 1994; Arnold and Gibbons, 1996; May et al., 1997). Impervious cover may be linked to the quality of lakes, reservoirs, estuaries, and aquifers (Caraco et al., 1998), and the amount of impervious cover in a watershed can be used to project the current and future quality of streams. Based on the scientific literature, Caraco et al. (1998) classified urbanizing streams into the following three categories: sensitive streams, impacted streams, and non-supporting streams. Sensitive steams typically have a watershed impervious surface cover from 0 – 10%. Impacted streams have a watershed impervious cover ranging from 11-25% and typically show clear signs of degradation from urbanization. Non- supporting streams have a watershed impervious cover of greater than 25%; at this high level of impervious cover, streams are simply conduits for stormwater flow and no longer support a diverse stream community. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJDEP) 2007 land use/land cover geographical information system (GIS) data layer categorizes Monroe Township into many unique land use areas, assigning a percent impervious cover for each delineated area. These impervious cover values were used to estimate the impervious coverage for Monroe Township. Based upon the 2007 NJDEP land use/land cover data, approximately 11.7% of Monroe Township has impervious cover. This level of impervious cover suggests that the streams in Monroe Township are likely impacted. 4 Agriculture 12.3% Wetlands Barren Land 29.4% 3.0% Forest 14.9% Water 1.5% Urban 39.0% Figure 3: Pie chart illustrating the land use in Monroe Township 5 Figure 4: Map illustrating the land use in Monroe Township 6 Transportation/Infrastructure 6.3% Commercial 4.4% High Density Residential 9.2% Rural Residential 15.2% Industrial 4.5% Recreational Low Density Land 10.3% Residential 20.5% Mixed Urban 14.0% Medium Density Residential 15.5% Figure 5: Pie chart illustrating the various types of urban land use in Monroe Township 7 Water resources are typically managed on a watershed/subwatershed basis; therefore an impervious cover analysis was performed for each Raritan River subwatershed within Monroe Township (Table 1 and Figure 6). On a subwatershed basis, impervious cover ranges from 4.2% in the Millstone River subwatershed to 45.2% in the Shallow Brook subwatershed. Evaluating impervious cover on a subwatershed basis allows the municipality to focus impervious cover reduction or disconnection efforts in the subwatersheds where frequent flooding occurs. In developed landscapes, stormwater runoff from parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and rooftops flows to drainage pipes that feed the sewer system. The cumulative effect of these impervious surfaces and thousands of connected downspouts reduces the amount of water that can infiltrate into soils and greatly increases the volume and rate of runoff that flows to waterways. Stormwater runoff volumes (specific to Monroe Township, Middlesex County) associated with impervious surfaces were calculated for the following storms: the New Jersey water quality design storm of 1.25 inches of rain, an annual rainfall of 44 inches, the 2-year design storm (3.3 inches of rain), the 10-year design storm (5.1 inches of rain), and the 100-year design storm (8.6 inches of rain). These runoff volumes are summarized in Table 2. A substantial amount of rainwater drains from impervious surfaces in Monroe Township. For example, if the stormwater runoff from one water quality storm (1.25 inches of rain) in the Manalapan Brook subwatershed was harvested and purified, it could supply water to 363 homes for one year1. 1 Assuming 300 gallons per day per home 8 Table 1: Impervious cover analysis by subwatershed for Monroe Township Total Area Land Use Area Water Area Impervious Cover Subwatershed

Defining these relationships provides the Department with the defensible technical basis to address total phosphorus (TP), pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), and total suspended solids (TSS) impairments in streams and lakes within the study area. This will include regulatory actions, implemented through NJPDES permits, and non-regulatory actions involving regional and local partners, targeted funding, and stewardship building. Phosphorus can cause designated use impairment by stimulating excessive growth of algae and aquatic plants, which can cause oxygen supersaturation during the day and oxygen depletion at night. Large diurnal variations of DO are often associated with large diurnal variations of pH, both of which can be induced by excessive growth in the system. As a result, phosphorus is related, through primary productivity, to both DO
